The author wants tau=2*pi, but in the Greek alphabet, tau has one vertical stroke, and pi has two.

So, visually in Greek, pi=2*tau would seem an improvement.

Oh, well.

Tau is tau over 1, pi is tau over 2. See also https://www.tauday.com/tau-manifesto#sec-conflict_and_resist...
pi's prevalence instead of tau is one of the strongest indicators that we live in a suboptimal timeline.
Millions of years from now, a far off alien race will discover the remnants of Earth, go through our maths knowledge, and they will slap their foreheads because we chose pi rather than tau.
They’ll also wonder why humanity has so many references to a video of a young orange haired guy singing a song.

Only reasonable conclusion is that he is worshiped as a deity …

After all, He is never gonna give up…

> he is worshiped as a deity

That actually made me lol irl!!

Then, convert the digits of pi to text to find how to achieve interdimensional travel to reach the optimal timeline.
